Chapter 401: I Suspect We Were Stolen at the Box Office!
There's a phenomenon that's quite magical.
"Superman 2" dominated the Chinese film industry like a carnage in China.
But everyone is amazed by the special effects and handsome male protagonist of "Superman 2", but there are not many people who really talk about the plot of "Superman 2".
Does Superman 2 have a plot?
[Superman falls in love with a human girl while saving the world]
[The human girl falls in love with Superman while dragging Superman back]
[The villain is obviously able to kill Superman, but he wants to force Lai Lai to make up time, which eventually leads to being overturned].
The core plot can be summed up in three sentences, and even from the selling point and concept of the core plot, it is not as good as the previous work "Superman 1".
At least "Superman 1" also added some human thinking and the boundaries between good and evil, which barely sublimated the theme of the whole movie and made people talk about it on the Internet.
"Superman 2"?
What else can you talk about besides amazing special effects?
Talk about the actors' acting skills?
The actors don't have chicken acting skills at all, Superman Chris. Jeff has an expression from all over the day, what acting skills can you see?
The box office of "Infernal Affairs" has been declining......
was overwhelmed by "Superman 2", not only was he overwhelmed, but even surpassed by "The Departed", among the four movies released, the box office was only better than "Our Motherland", which can be described as the most high-opening and low-going movie in the August box office......
But the strange thing is that "Infernal Affairs" has completely exploded the first two movies on the Internet in terms of popularity, ratings, and even follow-up influence.
[I'm sorry, I'm a police officer!] 】
[Three years later, three years later......]
[There is an inner ghost, terminate the transaction!] 】
[Why are you putting this on this Infernal Affairs? 】
In 07, the Internet era has risen.
In the major Q dog groups, netizens spread some of the text in "Infernal Affairs" with some sand sculpture pictures on the Internet.
Just click on a Q dog group, and you can see the news about "Infernal Affairs" in the Q dog group, and even the three words "Infernal Affairs" have gradually become synonymous with "undercover" in the mouths of netizens, and they are very popular.
And after nearly a week of release, the popularity on the Internet and in reality has not only not weakened in the slightest, but has become more and more outrageous, and even some netizens who have not watched the "Infernal Affairs" movie have a strong curiosity about this movie, and the advance tickets were once full, which can be called a phenomenal hot work.
The box office of "Night Walker" is climbing step by step.
Under the suppression of "Superman 2", it was released for nearly ten days, and it still maintained an astonishing data of 15 million yuan.
However......
On the Internet, except for the crazy embarrassment of some media and the promotion of the plot in "Night Walker" by some die-hard fans, the popularity cannot be compared with "Infernal Affairs" at all......
"Is "Infernal Affairs" another movie that is not a good seller?"
"There have been movies that have been praised and not sold over the years, but there are really too few movies like "Infernal Affairs" that suddenly halved at the box office......"
"It's a pity...... "Infernal Affairs" should be able to become a classic, at least in my opinion, a classic......"
"It shouldn't be, the old American version of the remake of "The Departed" has exploded at the box office, it stands to reason that with such popularity, the box office of "Infernal Affairs" can't be so low, right?"
“……”
August 19.
The latest box office in the Chinese film industry is out.
"Infernal Affairs" has only 12 million yuan left at the box office.
"Night Walker" has 16 million, while "Superman 2" has a slight decline in the box office, but it still maintains 46 million yuan......
And in the old beauty!
The box office of "The Departed", a remake of "Infernal Affairs", actually broke through from $8 million to $9 million and hit a new high......
This made netizens a little unbelievable, and there began to be heated discussions on the Internet.
………………………………
"Roddy, I'm sorry, I'm on a plane to California!"
"It's a very important time, Mr. Olson's approval ratings have slipped in Connecticut, and now is a critical time, and as a champion of Mr. Olson, and for the sake of the company's future, I can't stop...... I'm already betting everything on next year's election! ”
"Mr. Zhou Yang is a very talented director, I believe he can, if he can't, no one in this world can, you are also a talented assistant director, I believe you can handle everything, okay, sorry, I'm going to get on the plane, don't call me these days, I'll be very busy......"
Christian is still talking about his "American dream" with Congressman Olsen.
When Roddy called Christian with a wrinkled expression, he only heard Christian reply with a few words.
After replying, Christian hung up the phone without even giving the assistant director Roddy any chance to complain.
Roddy never dreamed that Christian would one day become so strange and so hateful......
He stood up and came to the edge of Zhou Yang's office, and saw that the lights in Zhou Yang's office kept flickering, and after hesitating for a while, he didn't walk in.
Zhou Yang is writing a script.
Since yesterday evening, except for three meals a day and Lazar, I have been locking myself in the office to write a notebook, and I have not even come out.
Just as he was about to leave, he saw Huaxia director Zheng Jun also coming over.
"Mr. Zheng Jun, you didn't follow to promote "The Departed"?"
"No, Christian doesn't think I'm a good fit in the past......"
"Oh, you've got ...... in your hand"
"Investment signature form, wait for Mr. Zhou to sign it for me......"
"Oh."
Luo Di and Zheng Jun are quite familiar.
This is the culprit of the "Lamb" incident, and it is this thing who took the adapted script of "Infernal Affairs" to find Christian......
And then......
Christian's whole person began to be wrong.
At first, I thought he was Christian's assistant in Huaxia, but later, Christian actually followed the filming of "The Departed" and directly abandoned "Lamb".
That's!
Of course, Luo Di has no resentment towards Zheng Jun, but has some inexplicable sympathy in his heart.
Zheng Jun, the unlucky guy, is a tool man.
You see.
The main director of "The Departed" is Zheng Jun, and now after the filming, Christian doesn't even bring Zheng Jun to the promotion, and even lets Zheng Jun take an English name, and the director of "The Departed" is now named "Jeff" by the director......
Who is "Jeff"?
Hollywood has hundreds of people with this name, okay?
Zheng Jun doesn't care about being deprived of his signature, many authors use pen names, as long as the director's name is a code name.
Although Christian is amazingly talented and understands cinema, he is not pure......
In Christian's eyes, whether it is Cannes or Oscar, it is actually for the sake of profit.
The name of the Chinese director is hung in "The Departed", which has a strong old American politics. In the promotion of the film to control color, it is very unfavorable, and if it is not good, it will have the opposite effect.
Zheng Jun understands these very well.
He held the investment application form for "A History of American Gangsters" in his hand and held it tightly.
The share of the movie "The Departed", he can not pay a penny!
For him, this movie is just a springboard, and with this springboard, he can get Zhou Yang's trust and help, and finally make the movie he wants to make and realize his artistic dream.
That's what he's for!
In the aisle.
Luo Di said hello to Zheng Jun and left.
He had to continue to appease the restless actors.
Zheng Jun, on the other hand, sat and silently waited for Zhou Yang's next dinner.
About two hours later, a blonde woman came over with dinner, and Jung Jun stood up immediately and took the dinner.
When Zhou Yang is eating, he will open the door once, and when he opens the door, it is his opportunity.
"Knock knock!"
"Here ......
The door opened.
Zhou Yang was a little surprised when he saw Zheng Jun, and then lowered his head and laughed when he saw the investment table in Zheng Jun's hand.
"Done?"
"Well, the formalities in the company have been completed, and now we are waiting for you to sign."
"Good!"
Zhou Yang nodded, looked at Zheng Jun's somewhat nervous appearance, took the application form with a smile, and then signed it.
Zheng Jun stared at Zhou Yang tightly and signed the word "Zhou Yang", only to feel that a hanging heart was finally put down.
Half an hour later......
He took the application form tremblingly, almost going crazy, and was about to leave, but was stopped by Zhou Yang.
"You're just leaving?"
"Huh?"
"Leave dinner for me, right?" Zhou Yang smiled wryly.
"Ah, this, I'm sorry, I'm sorry Mr. Zhou......" Zheng Jun was stunned for a moment, then was shocked, and hurriedly lowered his head and handed the fast food to Zhou Yang in fear.
After Zhou Yang took the dinner, he didn't mean to enter the office, but looked Zheng Jun up and down.
He looked like he was two years ago.
"Director Zheng......"
"In!"
"The new script hasn't been written yet, I may be going back to China soon, and I'll write it slowly when I return to China, here's ......"
Zheng Jun saw Zhou Yang stop, and then showed a smile: "There is just a live crew here, ready-made people, you can shoot first, if necessary, I will ask Mr. Luo Di to assist you......"
"Can I borrow the crew of 'The Lamb'?"
"Yes!"
"Good job!"
Zheng Jun was stunned.
Then it was a surprise again!
When he saw Zhou Yang nodding, he only felt that his heart was full of joy, and his whole brain was blank.
At this moment, he couldn't have imagined that decades later, he who had become a master of world cinema couldn't help but burst into tears when he faced the media and recalled this memory.
[He is the biggest noble person in my life]
[From that moment on, I swear, I will follow him for the rest of my life!] 】
…………………………
Back to the office.
After writing most of the plot of the script of "The Silence of the Lambs", Zhou Yang stood up, took out his mobile phone, and turned it on.
During this time, his mobile phone was kept turned off.
When he turned it on, his phone rang.
"Mr. Zhou, you finally answered the phone!"
“……”
"Mr. Zhou, I suspect that our "Infernal Affairs" has been stolen from the box office!"
